What kind of brewery is Citta Brewery?
Hop BroDo you know Citta Brewery? They have a taproom at WestRio 2 by the west exit of Chiba Station, and the operator is actually a house builder.
MugiWait, a company that builds houses makes beer? What is that about!
Hop BroIt's Studio Citta, a custom home company based in Chiba. President Takeshi Kudo started it with the idea that the construction industry only involves a limited circle of people, and he wanted to create a new community through food. First, he opened nido kitchen, a dry-aged meat restaurant in Hon-Chiba, and then set up the brewery next door.
MugiDry-aged meat and craft beer? That's already a win.
Hop BroWhat's more, they even have Chiba Prefecture's only aging accelerator. The beer is interesting too: WALNUT MOON, a dry stout, was designed to pair with meat dishes.
MugiThe beer names are stylish too! What else do they have?
Hop BroAsh Moment, a DDH hazy IPA, bursts with tropical aroma. Teak Tick is an amber ale with a strong malt character. They also have a farmhouse-style beer called nido and a Belgian amber called Material, and it's great that you can drink them just a short distance from the brewing equipment, right over the restaurant counter.
MugiI heard there are only 10 counter seats, but that cozy size is part of the charm.
Hop BroThey're aiming for a place where even first-time craft beer drinkers can naturally choose something they like. It's directly connected to Chiba Station, so you can drop in after work, and having a smash burger with a beer is the perfect way to enjoy it.
MugiThinking about it as designing beer the way you design a house feels kind of moving. I'll go check it out sometime!
